At this time, the publisher of the soft cover version of Pearls Before Swine,
Volume 1: Predicting the Past
(AuthorHouse - a Print-on-Demand publisher)
is the best place to purchase this book.  It can be found
here for only $25.25.  
It is listed on Amazon.com as available (always saying, "1 in stock, more on
the way" - which is a lie), in both new and used conditions.  If there actually
are some used copies available, the number is probably less than the number
of sites saying they have one.  These "Used" copies are listed for sale around
$38, which means they have none in stock, but will order one from
AuthorHouse, pay $25.25, and turn around and sell it for $38-$42, or more,
plus shipping costs. If you want a physical copy you can hold in your hands
and leaf through, go to the publisher's site.

If you want a copy of the E-book, send me an
e-mail and make a request.  The
cost is $6.00, where payment has to be confirmed through PayPal first, at
which point I will send a copy to you.  The E-book can read on your
computer, or book reader.

I will be honest and tell you that the publication is in much need of editing,
and since its 2005 publication date, I have found errors in my translations,
and now have a better understanding of what I was writing about then, which
means I now prefer no one purchase that edition.  Nothing I wrote, then,
weakens the overall conclusion
s that I draw now, but the conclusions I draw
now are better, expanding beyond those past.  For this reason, I am rewriting
that book, to be a series of books.

The reason is
Pearls Before Swine, Volume 1: Predicting the Past is not an easy
read.  Since the study of Nostradamus has been excluded from colleges and
universities, no one has ventured an educated approach towards what
Nostradamus actually wrote.  
Pearls Before Swine, Volume 1 was the first
educational attempt at proving the systematic approach that makes
everything have a consistency of meaning, meaning it comes across like a
textbook.

The book addresses: How I came to write about
The Prophecies; how there are
systems that need to be realized to understand
The Prophecies, how to make
sense of the "Letter of Preface" to
The Prophecies; and how to interpret the
quatrains of
The Prophecies, once they have been placed into a new order.  At
the AuthorHouse Bookstore, there is a copy of the "
Table of Contents",
which gives an excellent breakdown of the book, and what it covers.  The
book also has an Index, to search topics found in the book.  

The number of quatrains presented in interpretation are 111 (of a total of
948), which is 11.7% of the whole.  As the quatrains have been reordered to
tell the story of
The Prophecies, the first 111 deal with the general overview,
and what can now be called the historic past.  Thus, the subtitle:
Predicting the
Past
, because all have come true, in reference to our position in the future, to
when Nostradamus wrote them.
 

The interpretative section covers around 400 pages.  This is just under 4 pages
per quatrain.  Each quatrain is broken down into meaningful elements that
perfectly explain a past that has already happened, it had to get on a serious
level of discussion.  Because of this level of intensive review, four lines of
Nostradamus' poetry would easily become four pages of explanatory text.  
Due to the systems being required to bring out understanding, they are
constantly being repeated, as repetitiveness demonstrates systemic
consistency.  However, this is why
Pearls Before Swine, Volume 1 is difficult
for the casual reader to enjoy.  

Admittedly,
Pearls Before Swine, Volume 1 was written in haste, and was not
edited properly.  It is filled with grammatical errors.  The cover even has a
misspelled word, which slipped through the cover proof approval stage of
publishing.  The book will be reproduced as a series of books, with the first
being a separate book about "The Systems of Nostradamus".  However, a
reproduction of interpretations will be long in coming.  This becomes the
greatest value of such a large, difficult book.  While I recommend one not
purchase it, if you feel moved to buy it, please get in contact with me.  I would
love feedback, but would prefer to answer any questions that poor writing
skills created.

Thank you,

Robert Tippett
